-Please tell me this is a bad dream. -[Kyra] It's just a math's test, Peter.
-I'm doomed. -It's basic algebra,
I thought you were all over this.
I've been busy.
You mean, hanging out with Ruksy? [chuckles]
Ruksy!
-What about her? -I have to talk to Ruksy.
Now.
Please?
Fine.
[siren wailing in distance]
Class, I'm pleased to inform you that as of today,
you're all up to date with your assignments.
Great, does that mean we can have the day off?
No, Darra. I thought we'd head to the park
to explore the magical properties of plants and flowers.
Flower picking. Great.
I'm excited too, Imo. [chuckles]
[magical whooshing]
What are you two doing in here?
-Don't you have an exam? -Sorry to interrupt, Professor.
[inhales deeply] But I need to talk to Ruksy.
-Please? It's an emergency. -Hmm.
Right.
I need your help, or something terrible could happen.
-What? -I've got a math exam.
[scoffs] Peter, that's not exactly an emergency.
It is if I fail!
Look, I just need a little help. Nothing too obvious, maybe a B+.
Like, I give you a magic pen that always writes the correct answer?
-That's a thing? -That's not the point, Peter.
-You'd be cheating. -Not cheating.
-Look on it as educational enhancement. -[sighs]
I wouldn't ask if there were another option.
But if I fail this test, I won't get a good final mark,
which means I won't graduate.
And I won't get a job.
And I'll end up destitute and on the street.
Peter. Peter, you're clever, you'll be fine.
Please?
No! I'm not giving you magic.
[Imogen] Good call, Ruksy.
I mean, what's a non-magical being
even doing in the Bureau Of Magical Things?
Take away his magic glasses and he's nothing.
I'm as much part of the Bureau as you.
We're supposed to work together.
-Help each other out. -Not by cheating.
Fine. But you'll be sorry when you see me starving on the street.
[chuckles softly]
Get a wriggle on people, I'd like to get to the park
sometime this century.
-Lily! -Peter, come on, we'll be late!
I'd give Peter a moment, him and Ruksy are having a little talk.
I have to get to school for the exam.
Ruksy can jump Peter out.
[magical whooshing]
[whimsical music playing]
[Ladder creaks]
Where is Ruksy?
-I'll go look for her. -No you don't, Lily,
I don't want to lose you too.
There you are, Ruksy. Now can we please go?
[magical whooshing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay, Ladder, I want the pen that always writes the correct answer.
Which one is it?
[Ladder creaks]
I thought you knew everything in this library.
[Ladder creaks]
-Great. Now I'll fail for sure. -[cell phone rings]
It's time to go.
[Ladder creaks]
Ruksy!
Kyra?
Anyone?
First up in our magical botanical tour,
Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean.
Not common at all when it's mixed with goat's weed
and pixie tears, it can turn you into a shadow.
Oh, scary.
[cell phone rings, vibrates]
[Professor Maxwell] Do you need to get that, Ruksy?
-Um, no. -[cell phone disconnects]
Shall we continue then?
Time to start moving onto the next fascinating subject.
[school bell rings]
I promise this won't be too painful.
Assuming you've done the study, which I'm sure you all have.
-You've got one hour, make me proud. -[mouthing]
-Your time starts now.
[cell phone vibrating]
No phones, Kyra. You know that.
[disconnects call]
Great.
I'm stuck here.
[sighs]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[plays warped trumpet notes] -[whimsical music playing]
[gasps] Cool.
Whoa!
[whimsical music continues]
[exhales deeply]
[swooshing]
[mythical music playing]
[tense music playing]
[exhales]
Sweet!
[laughs, exhales sharply]
[whooshing]
[muffled screaming]
[gasps] I have magic!
I have magic!
Whoo! [laughs]
-Whoo! -[air rushing]
Whoa!

[water trickling]
[Peter] Whoa. [echoes]
[creaking]
[shatters]
[breathes heavily]
[footsteps thudding]
Now, class.
-[birds chirping] -What do we have here?
The purple lotus.
-Very good, Ruksy. -Professor…
have you ever heard of The Temple of the Purple Lotus?
That temple is a myth.
Well, myths are often based on the real thing.
It could have been an actual temple.
Well, the fact that we know the name may well mean it existed.
But if there was such a temple, it's long gone.
Or Ruksy is right, and it's a myth.
Dried lotus petals can ward off pesky goblins,
but they can also be used for medicinal qualities.
[whooshing]
-[breathes heavily] -[footsteps stomping]
[breathes heavily]
[suspenseful music playing]
[footsteps stomping]
[Ladder creaks]
Ladder! This is no time for reading.
[Ladder creaks]
[suspenseful music playing]
That's it, that's the suit.
"Anton 'The Crusher' Krasnarsky
was a pirate who used a magical diving suit
to crash a ship’s hull and sink it in order to loot it."
[gasps]
"The Department of Magical Intervention sent its top operative, Agent Swift,
to capture Krasnarsky."
"Swift succeeded with his super-speed tuxedo,
but Krasnarsky swore that one day he would have revenge."
Anton thinks I'm Agent Swift!
I've got to get out of this tux.
[Ladder creaks]
[grunts, groans]
[grunts]
[grunts, gasps]
Come on! [grunts]
[gasps, breathes heavily]
[cell phone dialing]
[Ruksy over voice recorder] It's Ruksy, leave me a message. Ciao!
[beeps]
Ruksy, I'm stuck in the library, and I'm being stalked by a diving suit.
[paper rustling]
I know, it sounds crazy.
But the suit thinks I'm its arch enemy
because I'm wearing a tuxedo that I can't take off.
[water dripping]
[ominous music playing]
-[screams] -[growls]
[whooshing]
[stomping]
[Peter gasps]
Listen, Anton, I'm not Agent Swift. Okay? I'm just wearing his tux.
My name is Peter, I'm a high school student.
I can show you my bus pass.
I'm supposed to be in an exam, but I got stuck here.
[magical swooshing]
So long, sucker.
[stomping]
[magical swooshing]
-[clock ticking] -[whimsical music playing]
[tapping]
[mouthing]
[Ms. Rayner] Everything all right, Kyra?
Yes, Miss Rayner.
[clock continues ticking]
[suspenseful music playing]
[tapping]
[mouthing]
[clock ticking]
[whooshing]
-What? -[Ms. Rayner] Kyra?
Uh-- Sorry, I, uh…
I have to go to the bathroom.
Dad's cooking. It's an emergency.
[students laugh]
Peter!
[whooshing]
How did you do that and why are you wearing a tux?
So I look good?
-[exhales sharply] What did you do? -Why do you always assume it's my fault?
This is the eastern smoke bush.
And if you point a finger, or a wand,
at a single leaf, you can fill an entire room with smoke.
Now, time to get your hands dirty.
Your task is to collect five specimens of magical plants.
-Five between us? -[Professor Maxwell] Five each, Darra.
Should be easy if you were paying attention.
[birds chirping]
Why do you want to know about the Temple of the Purple Lotus?
You're up to something, and I know Kyra's involved.
[birds chirping]
Fine. Don't tell me. I'll ask Dad.
-Fine. Something did happen in Thailand. -I knew it!
But you have to promise not to tell anybody.
Okay, so you know how when on holiday, Dad likes to stay inside the hotel?
I got really sick of being cooped up, so one night I snuck out.
Went for a look around Bangkok.
I ended up in a bad area and I ran into some pixies.
-Pixies? -Hmm, really nasty pixies.
-Just how dumb do you think I am? -Can I think about that?
[birds chirping]
[exhales sharply]
[timer buzzes]
Time's up, pens down.
Sorry, Miss Rayner, gotta go. Bye.
Look, if everyone else could remain in their seats, please.
-[grunts] -I can't believe you did this!
You're supposed to keep magic a secret, not bring it to school!
I didn't know what else to do!
[grunts ] Okay, I-- I… I think it's coming off.
It's getting tighter! Stop!
[grunts]
-[breathes heavily] -That's it. I'm doomed.
Anton's gonna crush me into a mantelpiece ornament.
[heavy footsteps stomping]
-Peter, what's going on? -Shh!
[ominous music playing]
[music intensifies]
[footsteps stomping]
Hey! Tin head!
[magical swooshing]
[wand chiming]
[thuds]
[crashes]
Thanks. We've gotta get you out of here.
[Lily] That's number seven.
I bet we're way ahead of Imogen and Darra.
-[both chuckle] -[cell phone ringing]
-[sighs] -[cell phone continues ringing]
[beeps]
Kyra, what's up?
[whooshing]
[gasps] Ruksy! I'm so glad to see you.
I don't know where to start.
The fact that you stole magic, or the fact that you lied to me.
I know it was wrong, but it felt so good to have magic.
Peter, having magic is a huge responsibility.
It's not some plaything.
I know, but it was really just an accident.
Putting on the suit was an accident?
Not exactly, it beckoned to me.
And there was no way you could resist?
You risked exposing us all today, Peter.
[magical swooshing]
[gasps]
-[sighs] -[wand chiming]
[footsteps stomping]
How do I get this off? It won't let go.
We'll have to loosen the fabric at a subatomic level.
-Meaning? -I'm going to have to zap you.
Kyra? I need a hand.
W-- wait! Are you zapping me because it's the only way
to get the suit off? Or because you're mad at me?
I'll get back to you on that.
Okay. Get it over with.
[magical swooshing]
-[electricity crackles] -[grunting]
Some privacy please!
[chuckles softly]
Now what about Anton?
I have an idea.
[whimsical music playing]
[Peter] What if Anton doesn't fall for the trap?
[Ruksy] Then we'll resort to plan B.
Which is?
Sorry, I didn't have time to figure that out yet.
What if we just gave Anton the jacket?
He may have become fixated on Peter. In which case he'll keep coming.
-Sometimes the magical world really sucks. -Shh!
[footsteps stomping]
[all breathing heavily]
Come and get it.
[music intensifies]
[all whimpering]
[magical swooshing]
[electric energy zaps]
[music concludes]
[all panting]
Crystals, genius idea. Thank you.
Another job well done, juices are on me.
-Kyra, would you give us a moment? -Mm-hmm.
Peter, I really like you.
I really like you, too.
I just don't know if I can trust you anymore.
I know. I messed up.
-But in my defense, I-- -Peter, there's no excuse
for going behind my back.
Which is why I promise you,
I will never ask you for magic again.
I'm sorry I ever brought it up.
I'm sorry for everything that I did.
And I'm sorry in any other way you need me to be sorry.
No.
Peter, you went too far.
What?
Ruksy, please.
So, it's over?
[footsteps receding]
[somber music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Do you think there's any chance she'll change her mind?
Probably not.
And honestly, I don't know if she should.
Thanks for your support.
Don't expect me to cheer you up, we both have to re-sit that exam tomorrow.
You brought this all on yourself.
I better get home, hit the books.
Peter…
[optimistic music playing]
You did look pretty cool in that tux.
[both chuckle softly]
